Crunchy Betty Gave Away FREE Lube!

November 2nd, 2010

The French Lavender didn’t stand a chance, but Crunchy Betty knew that the full-sized bottles of Natural and Tahitian Vanilla were meant to be passed along. In her words:

With trembling fingers, I tore into the huge package and immediately opened the french lavender. It smells like running through the English countryside, the gentle wind tousling your hair as you throw it back and smile at the Orlando-Bloom-esque man who’s frolicking behind you carrying a bouquet of flowers and an engagement ring.

But, sorry. You can’t win that one. I opened it. It’s mine.

And I keep looking longingly at the other two boxes full of aloe goodness, but I know in my heart that the universe wants me to pass on the love.

Now, I can’t give you a full monte review here, because I haven’t used the Aloe Cadabra in it’s, um, marketed use. As you know, Fiance’s out of town and … yeah.

However! I will tell you that this stuff is AWESOME as a hand softener. I use it a couple of times a day – just slather it on – and my hands don’t only smell divine, but they’re super soft.

And it worked wonders that one time a few days ago when I forgot that the backs of hands and broilers ne’re should meet. I had a huge burn that is now completely healed (four days later), and I gotta thank Aloe Cadabra for that magic.

I can only dream of the other kinds of magic it could bring.

Oh, Orlando.

Those two bottles have moved on, but keep an eye on Betty for natural beauty recipes, home remedies, and life humor…and who knows what else she’ll give away! (Plus you can still participate in the sharing of first-kiss stories if you want to!)

How Do I STOP Menopause?

September 16th, 2010

“What is menopause?? and what can u do to stop it?”, asks a seemingly frantic Amie on Yahoo! Answers. As usual, the simplest answer turns out to be best, in the words of user Which Witch Is Which: “It’s when you stop your periods, it tends to happen from ages 45-55, and you can’t stop it.”

Well that certainly answers the question, but since Amie seems anxious about it, we’d love to offer some thoughts and suggestions on the matter:

Menopause is indeed an inevitable change in a woman’s body, most popularly marked by the cessation of menstruation (as another contributor said, “…who would want to stop menopause? I mean your periods will become a thing of the past”). “The Great Change” typically comes in two stages, and characteristics of menopause can include irregular periods (before they stop completely), hot flashes, and sleep disturbances. Because your body will have stopped releasing eggs, production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone decreases, and one of the effects of that is vaginal dryness.

Like any other time in your life, keeping your body healthy will be so important! A healthy diet, exercise, and drinking plenty of water will help, as will being mindful of what’s in the other products you’re using. Keeping the vagina moist can be simply a comfort issue if you’re not sexually active at that time, but especially if you are, having a lubricant that actually heals and nourishes your most delicate skin and doesn’t add harmful chemicals to your body is a MUST.

Of course, we recommend something organic…perhaps with a light lavender scent? ;)

Lubrication to Relieve Vulvar Pain

September 14th, 2010

cracked-groundFeeling chapped, pinched, or itchy is no way to feel ready for any sexual activity, much less be comfortable in general, so for women experiencing vulvar pain, lubrication and healthy skin are critical concerns.

Alex at VulvarVestibulitisRelief.com has put together a list of her “rock stars” of moisturization and lubrication, with attention to ingredients, cost, and pain relief or skin nourishing benefits. Aloe Cadabra is on the list, as is Vitamin E oil! We know the healing and soothing powers of aloe and the anti-aging properties of Vitamin E, so it sounds like Aloe Cadabra enriched with Vitamin E must be a winner!

Natural Lubricant Treats Burns and Wounds

July 27th, 2010

Reviewer Onyx Sakura at Erotic Consumer gives Aloe Cadabra 9/10 stars for being not only a slick and soothing sexual lubricant, but for treating a burn wound with the magic of aloe vera!

This very soft and gentle lubricant provides a very sensual and enjoyable experience. I used it with an adult sex toy on a not-too-excited moment and had no issues. The lavender scent definitely assisted with a more calming sense. It is translucent in color, so no worries in regards to staining… A definite plus! As it is Aloe based, I used it on my daughter when she received a burn on her arm. She LOVED it and especially the scent! It glided on so softly that it was easier to help her treat the wound, and not as potentially painful. Though it did take a bit longer to dry than the traditional treatment aloes.The bottle was easy to get into with just a flip top lid. Pressure on the container provided as much or as little as needed. It doesn’t just run out of the bottle or leak!

Organic Personal Lubricant: The Aloe Cadabra® Story

June 9th, 2010

Rinaldo and Lalla Brutoco, founders of Aloe Cadabra® organic personal lubricant, have been on the leading edge of natural health and wellness for many years. Committed to organic principles since before organic certification came into being, they have pursued wellness as a lifestyle, personally and professionally. In the early 90s they created Red Rose Naturals, which produced the first all natural Aloe beverage, Aloe Springs™. They also produced one of the first whole food supplements, formulated by well respected research scientist and formulator of Rainbow Light Products, Patrick Baily. Always a step ahead of the curve, the Brutocos, owners of Seven Oaks Farm, launch their newest product, Aloe Cadabra® organic personal lubricant, at the perfect time!

The Brutocos moved to the charming town of Ojai over a decade ago, and purchased a stunning, 11-acre hillside ranch. They planted their first crop of a special variety of Aloe vera, barbadensis, which is primarily grown for medicinal purposes. They had the perfect environment to grow Aloe, and soon had a generous crop for personal and commercial use. In those early days they used the Aloe privately as a beverage, personal lubricant, and to treat scrapes, burns and various skin irritations for farm workers, friends and family. They also sold Aloe to a local company for production purposes, and sold fresh Aloe leaf at the local Ojai Farmers Market. They had an abundance of Aloe in their life!

Rinaldo, a scientist at heart, was well aware of the anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties of Aloe, but he did not know why it was such a great lubricant, or why it had a healing effect on the vaginal tissue. As he began researching Aloe he learned that as women age, delicate vaginal skin becomes less pliable, and little microscopic cracks develop, leaving the skin vulnerable to infection. During sexual intercourse these tissues are exposed, and because they are typically not maintained at a healthy pH level, they are especially subject to infection. The organic Aloe in Aloe Cadabra® personal lubricant lowers the pH on the surface of the skin and helps to heal the tissue while creating a barrier to opportunistic infections.

The Brutocos are advocates of the power of Aloe based on their personal experience, and they believe their product is the perfect personal lubricant. Testimonials confirm that Aloe Cadabra® organic Aloe works for women experiencing stress or infection due to vaginal dryness from aging. Younger women can use Aloe Cadabra® to enhance health and hygiene as well as for pleasure.

If you or someone you know is riddled with bladder or vaginal yeast infections, try Aloe Cadabra® as an easy-to-use, non-toxic solution. Sadly, the vast majority of products offered in the marketplace that address these infections are chemical or petroleum based. These products are not geared to healing; rather, they mask the symptoms for a period of time, and can aggravate existing infections. Though we don’t know the long-term effects of using chemically based personal lubricants, we do know that the Brutoco’s organic all natural approach with Aloe Cadabra® works.

For many years Rinaldo and Lalla shared their secret use of Aloe with a close circle of friends who were grateful for the discovery. After years of experimenting, Lalla decided it was her moral imperative to share this with the sisterhood, and Aloe Cadabra® was born!

Its fun being in the personal lubricant business, Aloe Cadabra® is a real ice breaker, and talking about it elicits a giggle response. It’s super fun to share and helps people loosen up! Next thing you know people are comparing notes on their experience using it. Try it yourself, share it with your friends, and do let us know how you like it please!

Aloe Cadabra® is the sweetest, cleanest, safest, personal lubricant available, made with only pure, organic Aloe vera, and a small amount of food grade preservative. It’s edible! Aloe Cadabra® is now enriched with Vitamin E, which has anti-aging properties for skin.

It’s easy to order Aloe Cadabra®, available in Natural Aloe, French Lavender or Tahitian Vanilla, for $9.95 a bottle at aloecadabra.com, or call 800 – 961 – 2563.

Candy Diaries: Safe Organic Lubricant

June 7th, 2010

candydiariesCandyDiaries.com loves this stuff for feeling good, smelling good, and being good for your body! You can even eat it, although they didn’t try that…

What I love about Aloe Cadabra Lubricant is that it’s organic, which means no harsh ingredients. Other lubs [sic] give you that uneasy feeling sometimes. I’ve tried one *I will call no names* but when I used it, it gave me that burning sensation and not in a good way. [It also gives] your sensitive skin the nourishment it needs to stay at its sexiest.

I definitely recommend this to all the lovers out there. If you wanna try something more natural for the body Aloe Cadabra is for you.

Ecstatic Dancing with the Dolphins

May 26th, 2010

dolphinMy lover and I are alone on the beach. The dolphins are dancing gracefully in the water before us! The sun warms our bodies. The water sparkles as the dolphins circle and play. As we embrace, we feel a gentle breeze. We watch their dance to their own music. Such amazing creatures! Playfully we attempt to “dance” and move like them… then laugh as we fall together onto our beach blankets, avoiding the sand, and protecting the Mai Tai’s. This is an experience of bliss… as we gently massage each other happy that we have this time together to simply “BE.” (not have to “DO”) Can we be this smooth and graceful?… perhaps if we slow down to enjoy every moment. Let’s make this moment last forever. We each reach for some juicy Aloe Cadabra, warmed by the sun… the picture on the tube IS that graceful movement like the dolphins! Slowly as we stroke our bodies, we come to a moment of true ecstasy… the music of our bodies crescendos, the orchestra joins together, and the climax of the music opens our bodies and souls joyously with gratitude for this experience. Let’s dance some more! Thank you dolphins.
